VBridge - installation mistake !

[Tamera]

Hello,

I'm lauching my website wich is composed of a JOOMLA CMS and a VB forum.

(Joomla and Vb are hosted in the same place)

I wanted to use the Vbridge function to connect users databases. But I am facing severals problems of installation :l

1/ When I upload the Vbridge component trought the Joomla administration board, I did'nt know which 'absolute path' to indicate for the forum, so I have put the same absolute path for my website.

It was a mistake because as a result an error screen appeared to me.

So, this is my first question : where can you find the absolute path of your forum ?

2/ I've try to fix the problem by uninstalling the component and try to upload it again but even if the component has disappeared from the administration board (Joomla), I can still found a folder com_v-bridge trought the FTP and I can't delete it : "access denied" (the folder only contains 2 files : index and installation)
How can I delete it ?

Can you help me please ?

Thank you for all
Tamera

If I don't solve this problem, I think that I'll launch the website and the forum as they are today : with separated users database. I will adapt to this.

In this case, I'll need to have the mainmenu of JOOMLA at the top of the forum, just like this : http://forum.joomlafacile.com/.

Can you tell me how can I obtain this result : do I have to download a module or something else...
Thank you again and sorry if my english is not as clear as I wanted. I'm French.

simply append the folder tree to the absolute path of your website. eg: if your forums are at www.yoursite.com/forums/ and your absolute path to webby was /home/sitey/public_html/ then the absolute to the forum would be /home/sitey/public_html/forums/

you may need to change permissions on the file. Use an ftp program like filezilla and change the attributes on the files to be 777 so read and writeable by all. Then try deleting. (right click on the file for contextual menu in filezilla to do that).

In this case, I'll need to have the mainmenu of JOOMLA at the top of the forum, just like this : http://forum.joomlafacile.com/.

View the source of your joomla page and copy the header data over to the header template in vbulletin. You'll need to adjust things a little bit, but that's the jist.
